His Flesh And Blood

by Tim Davidson | A Verse A Day

“He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.”

(John 6:56 NASB)



Jesus said that if you eat His flesh and drink His blood, you are one with Him, and He is one with you. This statement may be very difficult to understand if we try to explain it naturally. Eating flesh and drinking blood is not culturally acceptable. But when we endeavor to understand this spiritually it make tremendous sense to us.

The Message Bible says: “By eating my flesh and drinking my blood you enter into me and I into you.”

Partaking of Jesus is partaking of the Word of God. We are to taste and see that the Lord is good. We are to eat His Word and we will be eating His substance. We are to drink of the water of the well of salvation and drink in the Spirit of God to sustain us in this dry and thirsty land. Put spiritual things first and you will be eating and drinking the heavenly components that will uphold you.

Today’s Thought to Take With You:

I eat the flesh and drink the blood of Jesus through the Word. These are the spiritual substances that God provides for me in Christ Jesus.
